More than 200 people will take part in the reenactment of the life in peace and war of the peoples who inhabited the ancient fortress near today's town of Sliven in the period from late antiquity to the Second Bulgarian Kingdom.  

The medieval festival "Remember the Glory - Tuida 2023" started on Friday with a festive procession through the streets of the town. 
The festival, which is being held for the seventh time, continues on October 7 and 8, but now behind the walls of the medieval fortress of Tuida.

Visitors can learn about the lifestyle, traditions, culture, customs and even games of the ancestors. Gladiatorial battles, battles of heavily armed armies, skilled archers, crafts, slave market, delicious cuisine, yurts and tent camps, clothing and other entertainment will complete the festival days. 

The Medieval Fest is held annually on the occasion of the feast of Sliven - Dimitrovden, the Day of Saint Demetrius. It is organized in the spirit of the old Bulgarian military tradition - the Autumn Gathering of the Troops, which the Bulgarians used to hold on the day of the dragon slayer and great martyr Demetrius of Thessaloniki.
